Finally…made Bacon Candy. As I read earlier this year, bacon candy is supposedly “out of style”. Just like clothes, foods go in and out of style. That’s fine and well, but, what if I don’t want to let go? Well, since I’m all about enjoying life, bacon candy will stick around.

Made my first batch of bacon candy. I enjoyed this thoroughly. I tell you, it will always have a place in my kitchen. These make great appetizers. I also like that it is baked in the oven. No stove top necessary. That fact alone makes this recipe a keeper. There is no stove top mess. The smell of bacon lingering for hours or days on end in the kitchen is non-existent.

When selecting the bacon, keep in mind, fat renders, so use a thick cut bacon.
Make a brown sugar mixture. You can get really creative here and use spices that you like.
Cover the bacon completely with the sugar mixture. Remove excess.
Place the bacon strips on a baking rack and set on a foil-lined rimmed sheet pan.
Once baked, cool the strips on a cooling rack, and enjoy.
